This is my first time trying to make a model from scratch, so my knowledge doesn't go too far from tutorials.

I downloaded the MLP Source Pack and the Source Male Pack to make my own custom model by using Dr. Whooves mane and tail.

The problem is that if I use the template of the Source Pack, the mane is caved inside the head (Making it look like spikes are appearing from his brain) and the tail floats on the left side. On the other hand, I edited the Dr. Whooves.qc file and it worked. I also added the code for new expressions and the "flexcontroller eyes range -45 45 eyes_updown" and "flexcontroller eyes range -45 45 eyes_rightleft" commands for the eyes slides like the others MLP models that can be used for SFM.

Now, the problem is that the eyes aren't looking as they should like the other models when I load it in SFM (I haven't tried GMOD because it only crashed it all the times, so if anyone can help me to fix that too, it woudld be helpful).

This is how it looks:

And this is how it should look:

If it helps, I could upload the files into a single folder so that it cand be easier to find the problem. Aside from that, I wanted to call the model "Brownie", but if I do it the problem with the hair and tail reappears, yet if I use another name (Even if it uses the same exact number of characters) it works as intended. Pretty weird problem.

I hope that anyone can help me with this, because I would like to have my own custom model, as I can add more expresions from the other MLP models instead of using a reskin of another model with few expressions that can't be updated unless you have the original one.

Since the models have been already made for SFM, the original author told me that he wouldn't change the code to allow them to be used with SFM. So unless blackarmsgeneral releases the source files to make a custom male model for SFM, I will get stuck with this problem.

Edit: Maybe it could be easier to fix the hair problem with the "official" MLP source models? The template of the male pony can move the eyes perfectly, so maybe it could be easier and faster to do it that way.

Well, as far as I think this problem goes, the only solutions I can come up with are these:

-Wait until the author releases the source code to make custom pony males for SFM.
-Changing the eyes for the model so that they work right (Gmod model).
-Modify the right files so that the hair and tail are placed correctly (SFM model).

I would thank all those who posted in this thread to help me. I expected lots of comments and hate because I was asking help for a My Little Pony model, but looks like I've been proved wrong.

Sorry for the double post. I wanted to say that I finally managed to solve the problem. The code lines that control the eyes were in the wrong place and thus worked weird. Fortunately, the author told me where I should place them, and it's finally fixed. Thanks for you help, and I'll be back if I have any problems with other models.
